Do you feel that as long as someone else is out there believing that maybe they are right and that scares you?
If you want proof of God open your eyes. You will not see what you do not want to see. I see God and his work almost daily because I let myself see it. I don't deny him every chance I get.
Example: 2 Days ago I started reading a book called "The Purpose Driven Life" It is a book about God's plan for you and how to life your life to his plan. This book works by reading 1 chapter a day for 40 days. Chapter 2 is where I was for the day. The chapter was about "You are not an accident" Later that day some friends gave me my Christmas gift and this gift was a new bible. The bible was in a sealed box. I opened up the box. This bible has a built in bookmark so I decided to open to that bookmark and see if there was a message. On this page that I opened to there was only 11 versus total on the page. But it just so happens that one of those 11 versus was the exact verse from the other book I was reading.
Now you tell me the odds of this happening. Open to a page in the bible marked by someone else randomly (Probably a machine somewhere). Has the exact verse out of 11 on the page that was in the same chapter that I was reading on that very day in another book. This other book only has about 4 versus in it per page. Now combine that with the fact that the verse talks about things not being accidents.
You want proof that there is proof for me. If you perfer to use science to say that is just silly then do it. It doesn't harm me. Science is just another relegion. Remember science is always being changed to be correct as we find out it is wrong. The earth WAS Flat, the earth WAS the center of the universe. Science is great but remember just like all things you need to take it with a grain of salt.

that sounds like something i like to call a 'coincedence.' you know, where two things happen randomly but intersect in a way that makes you say 'whoah' <feel free to imagine it being said by keanu reeves>.
you see god everywhere because you choose to. not necessarily because he/she/it's there. i used to play dark age of camelot a lot... after a while, i was dreaming it, and if i was on a 3 day sleepless streak, i'd see it. and even when well rested, i'd hear things or see things and it'd make me think of the game...
the point is that since you spend so much time thinking about it anyways, you're going to see it everywhere you go. kinda like the 50 year old janitor that used to work in my building who saw racism wherever he went. i'd talk with him and he'd tell me all these stories and it always came down to the fact that he was being victimized because he was black. but there was no evidence in his stories to back that up. just conclusions.
you see what you want to see whether it's there or not.
